Fairness Doctrine or net neutrality? The Fairness Doctrine has been dead
for quite a while. However, the FCC is now considering rules to insure
net neutrality.

What is net neutrality? Did you forget that you entered into a contract
with your ISP? If you don't like what one offers you can excercise your
right to choose a different ISP. Or, you can negotiate with your ISP to
provide you with better quality service.

The ISP really isn't the issue. They're a dime a dozen. The issue is the
broadband providers. There are just a few of those. They're mostly
backbones, such as MCI, Spring, UUNET...
